U.S.A's solo project Glyph has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for more of a raw, atmospheric and depressive style of black metal and this is a review of his 2024 album "Odes of Wailing, Hymns Of Mourning" which will be released in June as a joint effort between Fiadh Productions, Shape Of Storm and Weregnome Records.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams while the music also has its atmospheric moments. Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast part along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style and most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the modern era as well as adding in some dissonant touches at times, synths and clean playing are also added on the closing track.
On this recording Glyph takes his raw and depressive style of black metal into more of an atmospheric and dissonant direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover pain and triumph themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Glyph and if you are a fan of atmospheric, depressive, dissonant and raw black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Man Has Succumbed To Madness" "The Unfortunate Man In Question" and "Between Ghosts And Gloom". 8 out of 10.
